Turkey Meatballs and the best meatball sandwich!

These are my favorite! This recipe if from my SIL Melinda. When she makes these she triples the recipe and has a whole freezer full of meatballs. My whole family loves them. We make them into meatball sandwiches or eat them with spaghetti. The kids gobble them up, especially in meatball sandwiches.

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees
2. Whirl bread in blender or food processor to make soft bread crumbs
3. Coarsely chop all vegetables and place in food processor. Process until finely chopped, or finely chop all vegetables by hand.
4. In a large mixing bowl combine all ingredients. Mix with hands. Mix as little as possible to keep meatballs from being too dry.
5. Form into large meatballs and place on rimmed baking sheet. Makes about 25 meatballs.
6. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes or until cooked through.
7. Cool and package into freezer bags with or without sauce of your choice (I usually double bag them to prevent freezer burn)

I usually buy a 5 lb package of ground turkey from Sam's Club and make 3 lbs of it into meatballs. I make the meatballs smaller than explained in the recipe. When I use 3 lbs of meat it makes a whole cookie sheet full of meatballs. I bake them, then freeze them in packages of 12.

Meatball Sandwiches

On a sliced crusty roll (you can butter and brown the roll first if you want) spread spaghetti sauce on the inside. Then slice some meatballs and mix with a little spaghetti sauce and put inside the roll. Top with a half slice of provolone cheese, then close the roll and warm in the oven until the cheese is melted.

These rolls are amazing! I've been making these rolls since 2001 when I was a newlywed and my sister-in-law shared the recipe with me. The rolls are light, fluffy, easy to make and they only take one hour! And delicious too!
I've made these rolls more times than I can count, so I've perfected the art of making them. Here are some step-by-step instructions with pictures for you.

Here's what you'll need.
I buy pretty much all of the ingredients in this recipe at Sam's club, thus the huge containers. You need warm water, yeast, oil, sugar, salt, egg and flour.

This is the best french bread I've ever made. I got this recipe from my friend, Nikki, who gave us some of this bread as a thank you for my hubby helping them move a piano. I remember it being delicious and we gobbled it up fast. I was intimidated for some reason by the recipe and waited a few years before I made it.

We needed some bread for to make some turkey, provolone, avocado sandwiches, so I made some of this bread and it was perfect! We sliced one loaf like they do at Subway. Then later I made normal shaped sandwiches with the rest of the bread. Delicious... light and fluffy and yummy!

Update 2/22/12: This is still my favorite bread after making it for a year! It turns out perfect every time and it's gone in a flash!

I bought myself an Instant Pot for Christmas. Did you get one too? The sale on Amazon on Black Friday was too good to pass by. I have seen posts of yummy food that has been made in an Instant Pot so I knew that it would be a good investment.
Now that I have one of my own, I am excited to experiment more and more with it. We made some pork tacos, Cafe Rio/Costa Vida style last night with beans, rice, cilantro ranch, homemade salsa and everything else. I whipped up these beans to go with it and they were done (without soaking) in less than an hour. Amazing! I'm excited to stop buying cans of beans and using dry beans.

Feel free to add whatever ingredients you want to flavor your beans. The basic idea is to add 1 part beans to 4 parts water and cook on high pressure for 40 minutes. Easy peasy! And yummy too.
